Rayfont Downtown Hotel Shanghai

It was cleanish

In true Chinese Hotel style the staff were disinterested and ubhelpful. Even as a Mandarin speaker they were impolite. The pool and gym? This hotel does not have either of these things. They direct you to another hotel 1/2 a kilometer away to use their pool and gym. I wish I was joking.

It is nearby the metro station,center is good reachable. A lot of food possibilities around the hotel.

We stayed two times. At first time the room was ok, but really old. The sofa was dirty. The bathroom was clean. Second time we got a horrible, extremely old uncleaned room! In the bathroom the towels were blurry! The stuff said the room is cleaned, but they are going to give another room. The other room.was still not perfect clean, but ok. Wifi is extremely bad, not really working .

Bed is bed, with bumps through out. Gym and pool is in another building 10 minutes walk. Service is horrific; they were impolite and untrained.

Dont call it a 4 star, its a 3 star max. Train your workers, they are all amateur. I highly recommend against it.

Location

Hotel is rundown. when I started staying there over the last ten years I have seen that the owners are not doing any type of upgrade. Wallpaper is coming lose, veneer lifting from furniture, sofa is filthy and bed is marginal. Shame it is like this.
